Model Discovery - Alima Lily Niangado

 
I don't know when or how my interest -- really my... obsession, with models with colour started but I know it started with the ones originating from South Sudan [mostly].
But... enough about South Sudan. Today we embrace yet another African face on the ramp -- we happened to have discovered some time ago.
Alima Lily Niangado (aged 22) was born and raised in Bamako, Mali. She first sparked into the modeling scene when she was only 16 years old. She later moved to Tunis, Tunisia to acquire her Bachelor in Finance degree where she also walked the ramp at the first edition of Design & Model Fashion Show 2010 and  Tunis Fashion Week 2010.
 The 6"2 tall striking beauty then moved in 2011 to London -one of the fashion capitals to pursue her dreams on the ramp. She did the Beauty & Hair Afro Show 2012 and a photo shoot with photographer -- Andrea.

 
 


Although she hasn't much under her belt [magazine cover wise and campaigns]. It is safe to say she is truly on her way there. Slowly but surely reaching for her dreams. Lily is now back in Bamako, Mali and will be moving back to London in September to continue her mission of becoming the next top model.
